I'm skipping -rc2 because the -rc1 Makefile mistakenly said -rc2, so in
order to avoid confusion, I'm jumping from -rc1 to -rc3.  That way, when
'uname' (or an oops report) says 2.6.32-rc2, there's no confusion about
whether people perhaps meant -rc1 or -rc2.

Albin Tonnerre &lt;albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com&gt; reported:

    Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them.
    This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds.
    This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes
    build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile,
    or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh)

Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by
pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the
arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script.

This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where
it is used.

Notes for the different architectures touched:

arm - we use an already exported symbol
cris - we use a config symbol aleady available
       [Not build tested]
mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it.
       Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by
       the linker script.
       [Not build tested]
powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed
          [not build tested]
sparc - simplified it using $(BITS)
um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this
xtensa - added options to CPP invocation
         [not build tested]

<title>kbuild: save ARCH &amp; CROSS_COMPILE when building a kernel</title>

<id>575543347b5baed0ca927cb90ba8807396fe9cc9</id>
<content type='text'>
When building a kernel for a different architecture
kbuild requires the user always to specify ARCH and
CROSS_COMPILE on the command-line.

We use the asm symlink to detect if user forgets to
specify the correct ARCH value - but that symlink
is about to die. And we do now want to loose this check.

This patch save the settings of ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE
in two files named:

    include/generated/kernel.arch
    include/generated/kernel.cross

The settings are saved during "make *config" time
and always read.

If user try to change the settings we error out.

This works both for plain builds and for O=...
builds.

So now you can do:
$ mkdir sparc64
$ make O=sparc64 ARCH=sparc64 CROSS_COMPILE=sparc64-linux- defconfig
$ cd sparc64
$ make

Notice that you no longer need to tell kbuild
the settings of ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE when you type make
in the output directory.

Likewise for plain builds where you do not use O=...

<title>kbuild: use INSTALLKERNEL to select customized installkernel script</title>

<id>caa27b66bd7188fd063769eaf4b33533ef0709e6</id>
<content type='text'>
Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized
installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL
to select a custom installkernel script when running make:

    make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install

With this patch we are now more consistent across
different architectures - they did not all support use
of CROSS_COMPILE.

The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs
to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change
just because we change toolchain.

The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch
that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no
longer be installable.
[Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint]

This patch undos what Ian did in commit:

  0f8e2d62fa04441cd12c08ce521e84e5bd3f8a46
  ("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh")

The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes
looks obvious.
